    Thanks for the tutorial. I have successfully created a Windows 8.1 AIO with Core, Pro and Pro with Media Center (32-bit and 64-bit).

    I made a Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 combo using this tool: softpedia.com/progDownload/Windows-7-Toolkit-Download-181550.html
    [/QUOTE]

    Thanks geobot... I attempted to use this Win Toolkit, however the Windows 8.1 choices were visible but would not get past an error message... The Windows 7 choices were visible and appeared to be functional...
    Apparently, I am not using Win Toolkit properly... :confused: If you have suggestions please PM me since this is somewhat OFF Topic for this Thread... Thanx

    I would like to try and create this Win 8.1 AIO. I am doing it on a Win 7 PC. I have downloaded and installed The Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) using the link on the first page. I have created the folder c:\win81aio. I have created 6 subfolders inside win81aio folder and name them as follows: win81, x86, x64, entx86, entx64, mount. I have extracted the ISO and/or Install.wim files as page 1 instructed. I then open Deployment and imaging tools CMD as administrator and enter the first code and come up with an error. I am thinking I may not have the correct ISOs to start with. Could someone point me to the correct 4 ISOs to use? Thanks

    Clean install works fine. But upgrade doesn´t. Using Setup.exe I get an error. And when I use Setup.exe inside "sources" also doesn´t work. If upgrading from Win 8 to win 8.1. Didn´t try yet upgrading 32 bits version. Will test it today.

    The guide here copies over 32bit install files. For UEFI you need it to be 64bit.
    If the 64bit DVD is used as a source, would the 32bit installs work?

    Anyone had a go yet???

    Are you guys using blue-ray discs? The iso file can't fit into a DVD.
    For now, I am using a 8GB USB.

    Yeah me too. It's normal to get this size larger than 4.4GB ready to fit on a DVD5. So either you use your pendrive or a double layer DVD.

    Is it possible to incorporate M$ Windows Updates that have been downloaded and saved so that a Windows 8.1-x64 AIO (Core, Pro & ProWMC) will install them during the AIO installation? If so, please provide instructions or point me to the Threads, Post and or Links to achieve this... If this is Off Topic, please PM me... Thanks :worthy:
